$getAction() with arguments

Is it possible to render a Infolists\Components\Actions\Action registered on a Infolists\Components\Entry via $this->registerActions(), passing arguments from the view? I have:

class TranslationsInfo extends \Filament\Infolists\Components\Entry
{
    protected string $view = 'infolists.components.translations-info';
    protected function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();
        $this->registerActions([
            Action::make('myAction')
                ->action(function (array $arguments) {
                    dump($arguments['language']);
                })
        ]);
    }
}

class TranslationsInfo extends \Filament\Infolists\Components\Entry
{
    protected string $view = 'infolists.components.translations-info';
    protected function setUp(): void
    {
        parent::setUp();
        $this->registerActions([
            Action::make('myAction')
                ->action(function (array $arguments) {
                    dump($arguments['language']);
                })
        ]);
    }
}

I have tried with no result:

{{ $getAction('myAction', ['language' => 'es']) }}
{{ $getAction('myAction')->arguments(['language' => 'es']) }}
{{ $getAction('myAction')(['language' => 'es']) }}
{{ ($this->myAction)(['language' => 'es']) }}

{{ $getAction('myAction', ['language' => 'es']) }}
{{ $getAction('myAction')->arguments(['language' => 'es']) }}
{{ $getAction('myAction')(['language' => 'es']) }}
{{ ($this->myAction)(['language' => 'es']) }}

it should be this https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/actions/adding-an-action-to-a-livewire-component#passing-action-arguments Are you able to render the action?

Thank you Leandro. Yes I have tried this also:

public function myAction()
{
    Action::make('myAction')
        ->action(function (array $arguments) {
            dd($arguments);
        });
}

public function myAction()
{
    Action::make('myAction')
        ->action(function (array $arguments) {
            dd($arguments);
        });
}

and in the view

{{ ($this->myAction)(['language' => 'es']) }}

{{ ($this->myAction)(['language' => 'es']) }}

But it throws an exception: Livewire\Exceptions\PropertyNotFoundException - Property not found on component.

I'm experiencing something similar here, @damarev & @LeandroFerreira. Any chance you've made any progress? My setup looks like this from the infolist() method of a resource:

public static function infolist(Infolist $infolist): Infolist
{
    return $infolist->schema([
      Group::make()
        ->schema([
          self::infolistQuoteRooms(),
        ])
        ->columnSpan(1),
      // ...
    ]);
}

private static function infolistQuoteRooms(): InfoSection
{
    return InfoSection::make('Rooms')
      ->schema([
        RepeatableEntry::make('rooms')
          ->hiddenLabel()
          ->schema([
            ViewEntry::make('quoteRoom')
              ->view('filament.infolists.entries.quote-room')
              ->hiddenLabel()
              ->registerActions([
                self::editRoomAction()
              ])
          ])
          ->contained(false),
      ])
      // ...
}

public static function editRoomAction(): Action
{
  // ...

  return Action::make('editRoom')
    // ...
    ->fillForm(function (array $arguments) {
      $room = new Room($arguments);
    })
    // ...

public static function infolist(Infolist $infolist): Infolist
{
    return $infolist->schema([
      Group::make()
        ->schema([
          self::infolistQuoteRooms(),
        ])
        ->columnSpan(1),
      // ...
    ]);
}

private static function infolistQuoteRooms(): InfoSection
{
    return InfoSection::make('Rooms')
      ->schema([
        RepeatableEntry::make('rooms')
          ->hiddenLabel()
          ->schema([
            ViewEntry::make('quoteRoom')
              ->view('filament.infolists.entries.quote-room')
              ->hiddenLabel()
              ->registerActions([
                self::editRoomAction()
              ])
          ])
          ->contained(false),
      ])
      // ...
}

public static function editRoomAction(): Action
{
  // ...

  return Action::make('editRoom')
    // ...
    ->fillForm(function (array $arguments) {
      $room = new Room($arguments);
    })
    // ...

I'm then calling the editRoomAction() in my filament.infolists.entries.quote-room template with {{ $getAction('editRoom') }} My issue is $arguments in the editRoomAction() method is empty. The call to my editRoom action from the view successfully renders a button which opens a modal, but the contents of the form is empty as the $arguments parameter of the fillForm() callback is an empty array. 😓

LeandroFerreira•6mo ago

Why not an action in the repeater?

Actions::make([
    Actions\Action::make('editRoom')
    ->form([
        //...
    ])
])

Actions::make([
    Actions\Action::make('editRoom')
    ->form([
        //...
    ])
])

Adapt.Patrick•6mo ago

Thanks for getting back to me @Leandro Ferreira. Will that still allow us to use a custom view file for the rendering of each item in the repeater?

LeandroFerreira•6mo ago

maybe you could try this way to achieve what you need

Adapt.Patrick•6mo ago

Forgive me, but I'm not sure I'm following where this Actions::make() call is supposed to live? Is it part of the RepeatableEntry::make() call?

LeandroFerreira•6mo ago

RepeatableEntry::make('rooms')
    ->schema([
        \Filament\Infolists\Components\Actions::make([
            \Filament\Infolists\Components\Actions\Action::make('editRoom')
                ->form([
                    //...
                ]),
        ]),
    ])

RepeatableEntry::make('rooms')
    ->schema([
        \Filament\Infolists\Components\Actions::make([
            \Filament\Infolists\Components\Actions\Action::make('editRoom')
                ->form([
                    //...
                ]),
        ]),
    ])

Adapt.Patrick•6mo ago

Thank you! Does this not remove the ability for use to use a custom view(), though?

LeandroFerreira•6mo ago

no, you can combine

Adapt.Patrick•6mo ago

That doesn't appear to be receiving any data to the form either, I'm afraid. The $arguments parameter is still coming through as an empty array ([])

LeandroFerreira•6mo ago

could you share the code?

Adapt.Patrick•6mo ago

Sure! 2 secs...

Section::make('Rooms')
  ->schema([
    RepeatableEntry::make('rooms')
      ->hiddenLabel()
      ->schema([
        \Filament\Infolists\Components\Actions::make([
          \Filament\Infolists\Components\Actions\Action::make('editRoom')
            ->fillForm()
            ->form(self::getFormRoom()),
        ]),
        // ... 
      ])
  ]);

Section::make('Rooms')
  ->schema([
    RepeatableEntry::make('rooms')
      ->hiddenLabel()
      ->schema([
        \Filament\Infolists\Components\Actions::make([
          \Filament\Infolists\Components\Actions\Action::make('editRoom')
            ->fillForm()
            ->form(self::getFormRoom()),
        ]),
        // ... 
      ])
  ]);

This produces this in the UI. Clicking the Edit Room button opens a modal, but it's empty.

LeandroFerreira•6mo ago

hum.. you want to pass the repeater data to the form.. 🤔

Adapt.Patrick•6mo ago

I should say, self::getFormRoom() is just a wrapper to return the array of form fields (just to help keep the code tidy). So it should use the same context as if I were to declare them directly in the ->form() call. 🙂

LeandroFerreira•6mo ago

yes, and you want to fill the edit form with the repeater data, right? Is rooms a relationship?

Adapt.Patrick•6mo ago

Correct & yes, rooms is a relationship on the resource's model. It loads related entries perfectly.

LeandroFerreira•6mo ago

you want to create a Repeater in a Infolist 😅

Adapt.Patrick•6mo ago

Correct - that's what I've got... 😬😅

LeandroFerreira•6mo ago

now I know why you are registering an action.. let me think about it..

Adapt.Patrick•6mo ago

Thank you so much. 🙇‍♂️ As far as I know, I'm doing everything "by the book" per the documentation but I could be missing something crucial.

LeandroFerreira•6mo ago

maybe we have a better way, but I think you could try this: Add this action to your ViewPage

public function editRoomAction(): Actions\Action
{
    return Actions\Action::make('editRoom')
        ->fillForm(fn (array $arguments) => $arguments['room']['record'])
        ->form([
            //...
        ])
        ->action(function (array $arguments, array $data) {
            //...
        });
}

public function editRoomAction(): Actions\Action
{
    return Actions\Action::make('editRoom')
        ->fillForm(fn (array $arguments) => $arguments['room']['record'])
        ->form([
            //...
        ])
        ->action(function (array $arguments, array $data) {
            //...
        });
}

Create a custom-repeater-entry.blade.php in your resources/view folder and copy the default content from repeater-entry.blade.php. Add the action:

@foreach ($childComponentContainers as $container)
  <li>
  ...
  {{ ($this->editRoomAction)(['room' => $container]) }}
  </li>
@endforeach

@foreach ($childComponentContainers as $container)
  <li>
  ...
  {{ ($this->editRoomAction)(['room' => $container]) }}
  </li>
@endforeach

Use this view in the Repeater:

RepeatableEntry::make('rooms')
    ->view('custom-repeater-entry')

RepeatableEntry::make('rooms')
    ->view('custom-repeater-entry')

Adapt.Patrick•6mo ago

Interesting! As you say, it feels a little "hacky" but I'll give it a go, for sure! 🙌 Hmm, I think we might be getting somewhere with this now. I'd be keen to keep this thread open though, as you've already said, I feel there should be a more elegant solution to this... 🤔
